Tomato Basil Frittata

With juicy tomato slices, fresh basil, and a little bacon for flavor, this quick frittata delivers the mouthwatering flavors of pizza without the fuss of making your own Paleo pizza crust. It’s a great choice if you’re looking to make breakfast for dinner, but it works just as well for Saturday brunch, or as a make-ahead breakfast that you can store in individual slices to grab as you’re running out the door.

You’ll need an ovenproof skillet for this recipe: don’t try it with a pan that has a plastic or rubber handle! Cast-iron is probably your best bet: it’s a little intimidating at first because the pans are so heavy and they can be more expensive upfront, but a well-seasoned cast-iron pan will outlive the cook who buys it, so it’s a good investment to make.

Like all frittatas, this one is endlessly versatile. The recipe here is very simple and minimalist, and really brings out the flavor of the tomatoes, but you can switch it up a little with other vegetables as well. Think of what you like on your pizza, and then try adding it in: olives, mushrooms, ham, red peppers, or even spicy banana peppers are all classic choices for adding flavor and nutrition. It’s a simple and healthy way to use any leftovers that might be lingering in your fridge, and a delicious addition to your breakfast routine.
